As I turned the corner for the final 50 yards of my first 5K, I thought about the long journey it took to get here. All the miles I’ve run the past few months, and in the past 15 months. All the weight lifting I’ve done this year. All the changes I’ve made in my

As always, the weekly rankings don’t reflect my predictions for the season, simply how the teams

Faith in Haith. Let’s hope that works out for Missouri fans, who’ve been put through the ringer (again) during the search for new basketball coach Frank Haith.
